Devil Jazz – an Apocalyptic Comedy

Rising from under the Great Pyramid in Egypt, Satan reveals himself in alien form to the world. He offers eternal life on earth for all who follow and believe in his words. It is his greatest temptation. Being Satan, the bastard angel without mercy, he sends out his demons to corrupt and convert the last die-hard moralists left on earth. Adolf Hitler, Marilyn Monroe, and Vincent van Gogh demons possess three rotten souls and attack the last bastions of purity: the youth, the chaste, and the starving artists.

The forces of Good search for a saviour and find a confused, homeless man suffering from amnesia and bearing a resemblance to JC. As he stumbles into a small fishing village, he is recognized immediately by a desperate crowd as Christ Returned, because his face matches the image that has just appeared on the wall of the men’s toilet in the Doomsday Cafe. 

Faith vs. Fact, Science vs. Religion, Good vs. Evil. Great forces are at work, shaking the foundations of everything we hold dear. Has the Devil found the perfect way to tempt us into believing his lies? Are we all doomed to everlasting hellfire, or will we be saved at the last hour by one brave, confused man with the face of an angel? Hey, this is New York in the 21st century. It can go either way.

The book is a rare find, but can be ordered directly from the Publisher: ENC Press

White Noir – A Blake Massey Mystery

If you like classic noir with an icy twist, come to Remarkable Bay! 

Blake Massey is classic LA noir but there are no palm trees or sandy beaches. Exposed flesh doesn’t tan; it freezes in two minutes. Massey’s the only private eye for a thousand miles. Staying alive depends on trusting a beautiful woman to tell the truth, something that’s never worked for him before… The isolated town of Remarkable Bay is vulnerable as evil migrates north to claim a billion dollars in oil. Brave men have died for a lot less. Only Blake Massey will help the desperate daughter of the geologist who discovered the vast oil deposit nearby. She’s beautiful and offering him a million dollars to keep her alive to claim her rights to her father’s discovery. The men of Remarkable are starting over, retreating to the edge of civilization and a stark, simple life. The women are independent, free-spirited and sexy, although their bodies hide under many, many layers of clothing. The discovery of vast oil wealth changes everything, including a quick, violent reduction in the town’s population. This noir mystery is ice cold and raw as an arctic wind. If you’re a fan of Swedish mysteries set in the Scandinavian winter, wait until you read this thriller set in Canada’s true north on the bleak shores of Hudson’s Bay.
